Hot Springs Arkansas Tax Preparation FAQ

Question: Can the tax preparation fee be taken out of my return or do I need to pay for the service upfront?

Both. We can either accept payment when filing or can have the payment deducted from your return.

Question: When is the first day that we can file an income tax return in 2013?

It really depends on the forms you will need. The I.R.S. has given dates for some forms and other forms are expected to be out around the same time.

Federal Forms  
Form 1040A  Individual Tax Return01/10/2013
Form 2441  Child & Dependent Care Expenses01/10/2013  
Schedule 8812  Child Tax Credit01/10/2013  
Schedule EIC  Earned Income Credit01/03/2013

So from reading this, it can be said that the 10th of January will be the first day that we will be able to efile your income tax forms.

Question: When will my return be direct deposited or a check mailed to me if I efile?

The I.R.S. hasn't given out much detail about their schedule but we have used prior years I.R.S. Tax Calendar and modified it using the information that we have received from the I.R.S. so far. To view the I.R.S. 2013 Income Tax Payment Schedule, click here.

Question: How much will I get back from my return?

That is entirely dependent on your personal factors including your income and tax payments for 2012. You're personal situation can also affect this great. HR Block created a great tool for getting an estimate of your tax refund. It is simple, so if you have more advanced taxes, it is most likely incorrect.

IRS Update for 2013

Good day,
      I received an email update last night from the Internal Revenue Service. They have changed the first day that they will process returns to the 22nd of January. I updated the IRS payment schedule. It also stated:

Form		Available to File
Federal Forms
Child Tax Cr		01/10/2013
Form 1040A
Individual Tax Return		01/10/2013
Form 2441
Child & Dependent Care Expenses		01/10/2013
Schedule 8812
Child Tax Credit		01/10/2013
Schedule EIC
Earned Income Credit		01/03/2013

You are probably asking yourself right now, what do this mean to me? It means that if you need any of these forms filed, it will actually be on these days before your return can be e-filed. The electronic version of these forms will not be available until the dates listed.
We can still prepare your return and just will have to process it on these dates. It is still possible to recieve your return by the end of January 2013.
Contact us today to schedule an appointment. All you need is your last pay stub from 2012 and your 2011 tax forms.
